Thai Sontaya

After a few weeks in Japan, I was dying for a good curry. And the ‘burbs’ can pull it off with a traditional Thai meal that satiated my yearning. We came for a celebration on a Friday night with no booking and the lovely staff managed to get us a table for 5. Sontaya is located at the top of the shopping centre in Eltham and with full patronage on the night, it has a popular following.
We ordered an array of dishes such as roti, satay skewers, chicken and cashew curry, coconut rice and more. The portion sizes were good and the rice was perfectly light and fluffy.
The staff were helpful and patient as we ordered plenty of food. The restaurant is BYO but you can also order wine as well.
Note: Wheelchair accessible. Kid friendly. Good parking nearby. Takes credit cards. Take away menu available.

Great priced and unpretentious restaurant with tasty food. Have eaten here at least a dozen times and have never been disappointed. Last week we invited two other couples here for dinner and they all couldn’t believe the quality and price of the food.

Tom Yum Soup - Lots of fresh veggies, the flavour and consistency of the soup were perfect, it was ready when I went to pick it up.

Service was polite and friendly!

Ticks every box!

My new favourite Thai take away! 😍

Tried Thai Sontaya for the first time tonight and was very happy with our choice. I had the green curry with beef and my partner the oyster beef stir fry. We also had side of roti bread and chicken skewers. Everything was absolutely delicious and we will definitely be ordering again from them. Great work!!!!

Used to work here before, i can tell ya’ll first hand that the food here is amazing. A lot of process and thoughts are put into their food, and honestly just the best thai food you can get in the area. They also serve free and delicious prawn crackers! Their Green curry is a must try and is my personal favourite.

Ordered from menu log last night, very delicious and they were happy to accommodate my daughters egg allergy. Will definitely order again

Delightful service, warm and cosy atmosphere, and some of the best Thai food I’ve ever had. To top it off we were pleasantly surprised when the bill came. What a gem!

Delicious Thai food, love the green curry chicken and pad see-ew especially, will definitely order again!

I have been to most of the Thai restaurants in the area and this remains my favorite. Not a flashy place, but the Green Curry there is the best I've had in the area. Funnily I mentioned I like Thai to a friend and they too love this place.

Came in last-night & ordered 2 of the vegan options. So impressed. The food was amazing and great service by friendly staff. Thank you for a great night.

Haven’t had Thai from this restaurant for years and was pleasantly suprised how delicious it was. Yellow curry and pad Thai were delicious.

Open early so very easy to take our little boy with us. Super friendly staff. Food's great & fresh & not greasy & a wide variety to choose from. Fast service

The food, as usual, is fresh and very tasty. Have been enjoying their food for a number of years. Always happy to return with friends.

Love Thai Sontaya. It's our local, always great. Reasonably priced and delicious 😋

Food was absolutely amazing, not a single dish we didn’t like, affordable too!
